4 Big Bar of Bullion.

The second largest bar of bullion ever

Gould mine, weighed about ,, 800 ounces,
was little over 500 fine i'm gold and was
worth about $21 900. The gas furnaces
were not nearly large enough to handle
it. and one of the great coke furnaces,
now seldom used, was heated up. When
it was thoroughly reduced to liquid,
molten mass, set of grippers was at
tached 10 the melting pot, and by the aid
Of chains and pulleys It was lifted out Of
the bed Of burning coke and charcoal
and dumped into a mold. When IL had
changed from a liquid into a solid but
red hot bar il was immersed in water
until il had sufficiently cooled to be han

several interesting features other than

a small party Of visitors, who were much

An Old Old story.

Sunday was partially fair day, but to-
wards evening the clouds began gather
ing again, and by night it was evident
that there was TO be some more falling
weather" while the rapid decline of the
thermometer was decidedly suggestive OF
snow. This anticipation was also bright
ened by the raising OF the cOld-waye sig
nal yesterday morning, and a fall OF "the
beautiful snow" was confidently calcu-
lated on.
The snow did not come, but the old,
old story Of the past week was continued
in the shape Of heavy and steady rain,
which began slowly falling at first, but
continued to increase until last night 1t
amounted TO a regular flood
II is feared that these constant rains
will result in much damage to the far
mers up on James river Last year they
suffered a good deal by having their corn
washed away before It had been secured
in the barns, and it may be that similar
disaster will overtske them at this time.
Reports of the effect of the rains on our
country cousins will be looked for with
great interest.

ReVered Remains.

For many years past the mortal re-
mains OF priests and various members OF
religious bodies Of the Roman Catholic
church have been inferred in what Is
known as the Bishops burying ground,
but now that Mount Calvary cemetery
has been laid out and consecrated, 1t Is
deemed fit that the bodies OF the ven
Grated dead should be removed to that
place. Tomorrow Gan Souls Day this
pious work will be done. At 8 o'clock
high mass will be celebrated at the cathe
dral by the Bishop of Richmond. and as
the mass is concluded the remains will
reach the church and be escorted TO the
cemetery. On the ground Bishop Keane
will preach and then the remains will be
again committed to the earth.

kiwi-kiwi is the creature : real name
but scientific men call it apteryx. which
is a Greek word meaning wingless. be
cause, though a bird, il has no wings. II
not only has no wings, but il has no tail
not even SO much as an apology for
one. And, as if that were not enough,
il has no feathers worthy of tl,s name.
Its quilts are covered with soft down for
about One-third of their length and then
are fringed with hairlike webs out to the
ends. which are sharply pointed 1t is
only as large an common domestic fowl.
but II has much stronger and stOuter legs
and bigger feet
When it sleeps in the daytime for
naturally il is odd enough 10 choose the
wrong time for sleeping it rests its long
bill on the ground and 80 makes itself
look like a strange sort of three legged
stool Most other birds Use their beaks
or their wings or their spurs 10 fight with.
but it would be foolish 10 expect any
such natural proceeding from the kiwi
and. in fact. its plan of fighting is to
kick. Ii is very fond of earth worms.
and one Of It's ways Of procuring them is
worthy of 50 odd bird. II thumps the
'arth with its big feet and if there are
any worms in the vicinity, mp they come
10 discover what is the matter.
It is a cousin 10 the ostrich. and though
is plumagc has no such value for us ~
is large relatives has. 1t is very highly
valued 10y the natives Of New Zealand.
The kiwi has a very tough skin, which.
when it is properly dressed, makes good
leather.-St. Nicholas.
